Jesse Osbourne is a Marion County native who studied at WKU and has an awesome portfolio of photographs.

You can find a sample of his work at www.jesseosbourne.com   .

I was particularly touched by a slideshow of photos Jesse has done, called "Losing Johnny".

More poignant photos I've never seen, but maybe I'm just a little bit partial because I know the subjects.

Still, the photo essay is something to experience.

I asked Mr. Osbourne how he got the opportunity to take photographs at the Elder home. Here is what he had to say:

" I was able to work with them because of their incredible
hospitality. They truly were accepting of my presence.

The reason I started the story was for a class assignment my junior
year at WKU. The theme was 'caregiver.' I knew the Elders and their
story, so I gave them a call. They were very open and accepting. I owe
everything to them."

I am keenly interested in photography, though I've not had any formal training; I was bowled over at some of Jesse Osbourne's photos - and my faves were in his photo essay of the Elders....

Do yourself a favor...take a few minutes and let Jesse Osbourne bring you into Johnny and Martha Elder's world....

It WILL change you.

It is so great! It's the best thing I've seen all day!!! It is the best thing I have seen for a very long time.
